Complaint alleges, Neglect/Lack of Supervision resulted in resident sustaining a severe injury. Based on upon review of R1's medical and facility records it was found that on 1/6/2024, R1 had sustained a laceration to their shoulder and arm. Based on review of medical records, an additional wound assessment was conducted. In the assessment there are no indications of areolar tissue violation, no fascia violation, no foreign bodies/materials, no muscle damage, no underlying fracture and no vascular damage noted. In addition, R1's family member agreed that they did not wish for R1 to undergo significant interventions, only wound and comfort care. Due to contradicting information gathered and a lack of corroborating evidence the allegation is found to be unsubstantiated. LPA's Tobola & Mutialu conducted a separate case management to address the general neglect/lack of supervision. A finding that the complaint allegations, complaint alleges staff did not seek resident timely medical attention and neglect/lack of supervision resulted in resident sustaining a severe injury are unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
